Poured a dark amber orange college with some quickly disapating head. Lots of floral notes on the nose, some citrus, taste was similar, lots of floral flavors, some earth/and acidity. Medium bodied, on the heavy side for a saison. Overall a decent saison with high notes of floal.

Pours an okay hazy orange with a decent soapy head that retreats quickly.smells like spices. almost holiday-esque.yep, tastes the same. this isn't a saison, IMO. Coriander and huge nutmeg and cinnamon, this is not far off of a decent pumpkin ale.flat. could be an old bottle, but the carbonation lacks. too overly spiced, even for a pumpkin ale.

O: The malts are really more dominant than what I want in a Saison although it does still retain some juiciness and is quite refreshing. The spices and funk are very subdued in the finish. Not bad, not great but slightly better than average. Alcohol is well hidden.

A- Pours a golden orange fluid that glows in the light, mildly zesty head falls to a creamy white froth leaving decent patchy lacing on the glass.

S- Not much funk on the nose of this one just hints of sweet ginger, hibiscus, mint, and light notes of musky yeast.

T- Hard to explain why or how this one is a Farmhouse ale in the fact i've had quite a few in the past month... but I'll try to explain. Upfront are strong bites of allspice and mint with light notes of sushi grade ginger stinging the backbone of the initial flavor bite. Secondly it has a raw earthy dirt-like aftertaste of wheat and yeast. Mouthfeel is edgy with all that is going on flavorwise it boast water feel and light carbonation making the taste linger a little to long.

Overall very drinkable and different for the style and for a matter of fact any beer i've tried and for that it is a decent lawnmower beer. For a Saison/ Farmhouse it falls short of the funkiness and horseblanket you'd come to expect... If it makes any difference this beer was fully consumed within' this review in that case... Cheers!

22 oz bomber pours a fairly clear, light copper color with a creamy off-white head. Pretty good looking brew, although a bit on the darker side for a saison.

Nose is laden with spices, I get all of the ones listed; ginger, chamomile and spearmint. Light malt backing and belgian yeast is not present, unfortunately.

Taste shows the mint and ginger plenty, and the chamomile adds a bit of perceived sweetness. This might fare better under the Herbed/Spice beer category. It is actually not all that bad, just not really saison-like. Most of the flavors are completely covered by the heavy spicing…yeast, malt and hop flavor for sure. A moderate hop bitterness on the finish pokes through. I had a somewhat interesting time working my way through the bomber, I certainly would not buy it again, but I am not regretting the purchase or the quaff. Unique, to be sure, but an average brew at best overall for me.

Fresh 22 oz. bomber poured into a globe glass. This 'Saison by the Sea' tilts the scales at 7.0%, not 8 as mentioned. Shows an orange golden in color with good clarity, and offering a short lived white cap of foam.

Aroma is strongly tilted towards the added spices vs. any Saison yeast influence, though surely present behind the curtains. Ginger is pronounced on the nose and carries firmly to the palate. Though it is a bit overwhelming to say the least, and hints of noble hops are oddly lacking prior to warming to room temperature at which point they deliver a light lemon character.

Flavor of floral spices, ginger and chamomile. The spearmint mentioned on the label is a bit too shy to reveal itself. Finish lingers with the ginger spice and offers a touch of faux picante pepper spice. Dry and clove/peppery on the finish with a subdued malt body. Average mouthfeel with the ginger spice seeking to disguise itself as the carbonation that isn't really there and lacking any yeast sourness.

Overall this brew is pleasant but flagrantly spiced and with a subdued yeast character and an underpowered carbonation level. To label it a Saison is arguable.

Appears a hazy light gold with a frothy white head that slowly fades. Scattered bits of lacing are left around the glass.Smell is of chamomile up front with refreshing herbs, citrus, and teal blended with a wheat wheat addition.Taste is of the mentioned aromas. Not a true saison by definition but I've been punished myself for that...not to mention that I don't really care that much about style guidelines. It's an alright beer. It would go great with sushi. Palate cleansing, refreshing, and dry. The herbs are there to be noticed. I would love to try this beer sans herbs. I bet I would like it that much more.
